"Tell me about it." The Sun King looked at Sean and said.
This matter has been dragging on for a long time, and no one knows what the situation is like in Oro City. There are not many messengers around to deliver messages, and Luke's news cannot be passed on.
We need to establish communication between the two places as quickly as possible.
"Regarding the affairs of the Oro region, I hope my uncle can listen to my opinion first..."
The troops that had gone to the Bashalan Empire hadn't returned yet; even the initial vanguard hadn't arrived. Furthermore, Melsusa had initially intended to demand a high fee from Bashalan for sending troops, but now she was only asking for a piece of land as compensation.
In Sean's opinion, land is the most valuable thing.
Although Oro City is located in a remote area and is considered a border city for the Bashalan Empire, once it leaves the empire, it can be developed into a large inland city.
The map connects Oro City and Mersin, and is close to the Adak region on the right. It can be said to be a very good buffer zone.
As long as protection is provided to merchants from all over the country, the Oro region can become a safe zone for neighboring countries... With the support of a big country like Jagun, there is no need to worry about others targeting it.
It will definitely develop in a few years and will be better than when it was in Basaran!
Of course, before these plans come out, a large investiture ceremony is needed...that is, Jagun recognizes the ownership of the Oro region and personally bestows the title on Luke.
Sean's original idea was to give Luke Weigel the title, continuing the Weigel family name.
After all, he might not use the surname Weigel anymore after coming to this place. As a retainer who has followed the Weigel family for many years, Luke is qualified to carry it with him.
In addition, other people's positions were also awarded. It would appear more solemn in the name of the Sun King and the surrounding countries would pay more attention to it.
After listening to Sean's advice, the Sun King thought about it...
"I've heard about your story before. Melsusa originally wanted Basaran to pay, but you chose a piece of land instead of the money. It's not cost-effective, but land has its own value. As long as it's managed properly, it will produce better results than just taking money directly."
"Sean."
The sudden speech turned to the main topic.
"I can promise you this, but you need to tell all the ministers about your plan tomorrow... Some officials are very dissatisfied with you giving up Basaran's money, and you need to explain it to them."
It can be seen that the Sun King still supports his own ideas. As an emperor, he also understands the importance of land.
Only with land can there be people and only with land can there be development... This is far more real than that sum of money, and to be honest, Jagun is not short of money nowadays.
"Is there anything else? What are your plans for the development of the country?" the Sun King continued to ask.
In fact, Sean does have some experience in economic development, but each region is different due to the people and the place. As a newcomer, he is unlikely to offer any effective suggestions.
Develop agriculture? Develop industry?
Everyone will bring those up, and each country has its own operating process. If you intervene directly, it is likely to produce counterproductive results.
"I don't know much about Jagun yet, so I'll have to wait and see."
"You are quite modest, much like your sister!"
"But as your elder, I still have to make some more requests of you." The subject turned back to Sean.
"What do you want?"
"As for your personal matter, you are the eldest son of the Izdihar family, and you are also of marriageable age... You should get married. If my sister were still alive, this would probably be what she would be most concerned about."
Well……
Why did we suddenly get to this topic?
"this……"
"I heard from Melsusa that you were very powerful when you were in the Basaran Empire. Several powerful witches were obsessed with you?" Looking at the Sun King's sudden meaningful smile.
"That's an exaggeration, that's an exaggeration." I felt a little embarrassed when I heard it.
"You invited him over when you came back?"
"That's what happened."
Melsusa was present that day, and Sean knew that the Sun King would find out sooner or later.
"Your father was a noble of the Bashalan Empire. Although I don't think he was worthy of you, he was the love of your life. After hearing about you, I wondered what she would think if she were still alive."
Finally, he sighed.
"Since you have such an idea, I won't stop you. But becoming the princess of Jagun requires more than just your approval. She needs recognition from many other people. Among all the noble girls here today, don't you have a favorite?"
Sean looked at his uncle's sudden "gentlemanly" expression. What did this mean? Was he asking him to recruit a harem?
He took out a handkerchief ball that was already full of something from his arms.
"You're saying this?"
"Hahaha... I remember I received more than you at my coming-of-age ceremony. It seems you haven't been recognized by everyone yet." The Sun King suddenly laughed.
???
It turns out that collecting handkerchiefs has become a royal tradition.
"Look under the handkerchief yourself. Almost all the noble girls are expressing their admiration for you."
Sean hadn't really read it carefully, and he just found it now...
Sure enough, there is.
"You must hurry up on this matter. As for what you mentioned, I will summon all the ministers tomorrow morning to issue orders. I also need you to tell them your vision for Oro City alone in the hall."
………………
The almost whole day's sacrifice was finally completed, and it was already afternoon when Sean returned to the palace.
After standing for a whole day, I didn’t feel very hungry, but I felt a little sore.
"Your Highness is back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
When Sean saw him come in, he sat on the chair next to him. Several palace maids were busy preparing his slippers, and Illya helped rub his shoulders from behind.
"What were you talking about just now?" Sean saw several palace maids sitting together and chatting before he came in.
Illya did as she was told and got along well with the servants in the palace. After only two days, she was already able to chat with quite a few of them.
"We are talking about His Highness's performance today. I heard... His Highness was very impressive today." Illya said with a smile behind him.
"It's impressive, but my feet hurt."
"But it's a good deal. After the sacrifice, Your Highness will officially become one of the rulers of Jagun, and will be respected by the people of Adak in the future."
"I respect him more. Not only respect him, but also admire him." Sean put the bunch of handkerchiefs on the table beside him. Several girls wanted to take a look at them.
"You can't touch these. These were given to me by noble girls in the capital. They are filled with words of admiration for me."
Pick up any one at random, and you will find a simple message at the bottom of the handkerchief, with their names written on it.
"It seems that our prince is still very charming."
"That's not..."
